It was "sort of" true. Tesla blocked everything that had the charging bug. The MG4 never had the bug so it didn't get blocked.

It doesn't have wireless android but like you I've got a dongle that works so much better than the cable.

I'm not sure that inflating the range prior to a journey is a great way to allay fears. I'd imagine it does a better job of delaying fears. When the car is calculating the range it doesn't know (or care) how the charging was done. It just looks at how much charge it has and how quickly the...

Is the MG system really sophisticated enough to take ambient temperature into account for displayed range after a reset?

I don't think I'd reset the trip counters just to get the car to tell me it has more range. That doesn't seem any more likely to be a true range than the car's guess that is based on recent events.

It depends entirely on what the car was doing for the miles before you charged it up. The car assumes that it will carry on being treated the same way for all of the charge that it has available. If you lived at the top of a mountain range and you drove home at 70mph in freezing conditions then...

There are people here that have only used a granny charger. If you have cheap overnight electricity and you don't ever do more than 50 miles in a day then you wouldn't need anything else. I bought a 32A 3-phase cable from Amazon when I bought my car 2 years ago. I've used it twice. I'm glad...

I did see a post some time ago from someone who paid very little money for an old nissan leaf and just had it in his back garden as a battery.

My cousin has a VW that slams on the brakes along a section of the 70mph Thanet Way because a parallel road has a 40mph sign that is in view.

With everything MG there is always the possibility that the 12V battery is failing and causing odd problems. The other likely candidate is that the camera is dirty. ( I don't know which camera does the speed sign recognition but I'd check the front of the car and the top of the windscreen. If...

The trophy does have 11kW charging but the park and ride at York is the only place in the UK where I have been able to use it. In France they seemed more common.

Range - It looks at how much power it used for the last few miles and then estimates how far the car will go on the power that it has available. If you drive fast uphill and into the wind in the cold the car will show a very low range, downhill with the wind behind at 40mph and the range will...

I'm not a great fan of cable ties for really small tubes. I prefer those clips with 'ears' that you crimp in place with pliers.

That's fine. Just asking. I'll be swapping the one over that I have anyway. I am definitely interested, let me know when you think they will be available and we can sort out a day for me to come up.

That's really interesting, Christopher was asking £750 including part worn tyres and I dont really need all 4. Will yours still have the TPMS sensors on them? £500 is a better outlay and gives me the chance to ebay the others. Also, if you find someone who only wants one or two then I'm happy to...

Thanks, I was looking for him but didn't find the post until a bit after I asked the question.

A few days ago I saw a post, either on here or facebook, from someone in England selling 4 wheels for an MG5 Trophy. I wasn't interested at the time but now I want them and I can't find the post anywhere. Did anyone else see it and can point me in the right direction? Later that day..... Found...

Probably but the down side risk is quite high with screen wash spraying into the cars electrics. If I have to do it I'll use the clips with ears that you tighten with pliers.

My motorbike has a fuel pipe connection inside the petrol tank and it was extremely time consuming to get to, so I used something like these /https://www.amazon.co.uk/HSEAMALL-140PCS-7-20mm-Stainless-Fasteners/dp/B07R7VHG1K which once they are on, they stay on for good.

Is it possible that you have set the car to 90% ? There is a setting in the app and in the car for the maximum charge.
